Plug is an Elixir specification for composing web applications using modular functions. It provides adapters for HTTP servers on the Erlang VM, allowing requests, responses, and WebSocket interactions to be managed consistently. It's a foundational component used by frameworks like Phoenix to handle connection pipelines.

Features

  • Specification for building composable web modules
  • Connection adapters for various Erlang VM web servers (e.g., Cowboy, Bandit)
  • Middleware-like architecture for request/response transformation
  • Lightweight and flexible integration into Elixir applications
  • Seamless handling of HTTP and WebSocket connections via unified APIs
